I just picked up this kit for my 2.3l 23’BL I plan to use the OEM skid plate modified to accommodate the hidden winch.

Super job. I think this is the cleanest pressure switch mod I've seen. Well done!

I honestly enjoy this configuration more than being completely topless. I bought a strap from Amazon used for strapping down canoes etc to the roof and cut it shorter to hold down that back latch to the cross bar to prevent movement from the wind.

I was on KZbin looking for a video of this specifically, so thank you lol

Wish there are videos about Ford’s tonneau cover. I ordered it when I ordered my Bronco thinking I needed it. I didn’t realize how hard it was to install/didn’t know there were going to be back straps over the swing gate… kinda regretting it. It just sits in the garage because I can’t get it on.

how is the switch wired?

Quick question for u? I added a pressure switch and it seems to work! however the compressor comes back on every 30 seconds or so for maybe 1 second. Is this normal? Or am I losing pressure somewhere? I thought once it reached the desired psi and was not in use it would stay off until I turned it on

Great video. Thank you for doing this.

Excellent ... as a new Bronco owner, I figured there had to be a simpler solution out there. Looks like one key to success is precise placement/parking of the Bronco -- in this instance, a tight fit in the garage actually works to your advantage.

Great idea

Attempts show movement in rear section and only pushes down. It would be important to check if it lifts and I assure you it will. The questions are how much and how much can the top withstand before it breaks.

How water resistant is the tonneau cover?

Thank you!

Awesome - thanks

Where did you get the bracket?

Thank you for your video, very informative! Do you have any concerns that the hard top will deform/widen a bit by way of hanging on the hooks at their contact points? Thanks again.

First time I've seen that configuration

Awesome idea. I did something similar with my Wrangler years ago that worked reasonably well. The Bronco top is lighter and more well balanced so I expect it works even better. I will try it out. Thanks!

Would you be able to just have the front top only? Or does it need the second row top to clamp down?

thanks for the tutorial

Have you done anything to enhance your setup, maybe put a plexiglass or something

Thank you for sharing, great video. Mind sharing a link for they wiring harness?

Thank you I needed to know how to wire it

Excellent work. Thanks very much for this video.

Seems like a bad idea. 2 points of connection when it's supposed to be 5? Seems like it would be over stressing the front clamps. No thanks.

Has anyone else tried this? They don’t fly off?

Ive had my Badlands for about two weeks. Haven't taken the top off yet. That Looks like a sweet set up, are those speakers in back, rain proof?

Why not put the switch between the frame and the hose (above the on/off switch)?

Hi, what wheels and tires are those? Thanks

Did those structures damage the under belly at the end?

I have the same setup and currently running into an issue with the install. The power cable on the winch is up against the brake line. At 7:29 in you video, it appears to be the same issue with the line showing flexed out. Any issues with the line rubbing? I’m worried about the line eventually get a hole rubbed through it.

That fact you can function in that garage is reason enough to give a 👍🏻 LOL I’m currently trying to MacGyver something for the wife’s Bronco. Still too cold here to pull it apart and have a good look. I like your under mounting so the rear glass can stay closed

So, just to be clear with the remote- there is a toggle on the Badlands for wire/wireless option. If you leave the cable plugged into the unit all the time do you need to flip that toggle in order to go wireless? If not, which do I leave it on in order to not have to try reach down into the engine bay and flip it? Also, instead of even messing with the clutch lever what about just using the pay out direction and not putting it in free spin? Then there’s not something else that can break. Just saying. Not a dig on ya.

NICE

Btw, it’s the tonneau water proof? Or does it get wet in the truck area?

Awesome!! Exactly what I was curious about!

Fantastic video! this literally answered every question i had about this setup except 1... Apex fitment, , Check... Possible to extend the clutch lever, check... The only thing i wonder is if the Yankum Fairlead will fit the Rough country indent. i'd like to use that if possible and i think it'll protect the rope well and get rid of a hook that could possibly be marred up on approach angles given how low this is. Any insight? is it just the badlands fairlead that is oversized? or is the rough country the only one that will work.

Where did you buy the mount? Also can this compressor handle all 4 tires at once?

Damnit Jim I'm a Bronco, not a boat!

- 1 x double male 1/4” NPT adapter - 1 x double female 1/4” NPT adapter - 1 x 1/4” NPT T-fitting - male to double female - 1 x 1/8” to 1/4” NPT adapter could you point us in a direction to find these fittings?

How long is the spacer adapter (1 x double female 1/4” NPT adapter) I like the pressure switch mounted here seems much better protected. Plus no stress on any of this once it together compared to being mounted in the back your always plugging and unplugging the hose. Nicely done.

They could but it would drive the price up. It's priced well as is. Thing is I honestly don't see a need for this mod. Hook line up to tire, hit switch, stop when at desired pressure.

Cool hack!

Really good mod. They should incorporate your fix into their future product updates. 👍

Just curious, why did you go with the Badlands over the RC winch? Very clear and concise install video!!

I have the same setup and came up with a similar idea you did. I bought the threaded rod today and cut the handle. I haven't tapped the handle yet. Probably do that tomorrow.

I just want to clarify that these are actual trails that have been flooded by beaver dams and heavy rains. Off-roading through waterways is illegal in Quebec. No fish or frogs were harmed in the filming of this video. I hope. Lol.

Wow… I love it. Good Idea. I’m going to do that.

How far apart are the 2x3s?

Is your bronco the 2.3 or 2.7L? Thanks!
